QQL Studio v0.1.2

Per-filter explanations, and a way to see inside very dense seeds.

Downloads

• macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel): QQL Studio_0.1.2_universal.dmg — signed & notarized.
• Windows (64-bit): QQL Studio_0.1.2_x64-setup.exe (recommended) or the .msi.

Windows note: these builds are not code-signed, so SmartScreen will show "Windows protected your PC." Click More info → Run anyway. (macOS is fully notarized and opens normally.)

What's new since v0.1.1

Filter explanations. Every filter in the Formation, Orbital and Shadows sections now has a small ⓘ button that opens a plain-English explanation of what it actually does — the values the algorithm can produce, how common they are, and the caveats worth knowing. Notably: Orbital splits are only visible when the colour happens to change at the wedge boundary, which is a dice roll weighted by Color variety, so a piece can be full of splits you simply can't see.

Flow angle. Clearer labelling about which flow fields it applies to, a note when the chosen flow field pins the angle so the slider can't narrow anything, and a tip for hunting recursions (RandomLinear, 43–47°).

Inflate toggle in the seed inspector. Forces every point to a small minimum radius at paint time, so dots that would render as nothing become visible. Layout and colours are untouched. This matters for very dense seeds — a piece with over a million points can paint as a blank canvas normally and reveal a full texture when inflated.

QQL Studio v0.1.1

First Windows build, plus the UX and animation fixes since v0.1.0.

What's new since v0.1.0

• Windows support — first PC build, via CI.
• Per-structure sections — Formation / Orbital / Shadows are now their own colour-coded sidebar cards; non-applicable ones grey out when a Structure is pinned.
• Animation fixes — closing the detail view mid-render now cancels the job; build and export can no longer clash; collapsing the Animate panel returns to the static render; user-cancel no longer shows as an error.
• Faster animation start — reuses the known layout point count instead of recomputing it.
• Smarter filter guards — any min > max range (points, colours, radius buckets, sections, ring bands, …) is caught before generating, with a clear reason.
• Radial-flow angle grey-out, chunk/ring-band bounds, and impossible-combo warnings (from the interim UX pass).

QQL Studio v0.1.0

QQL Studio — a macOS desktop app for filtering, rendering, and animating QQL art seeds locally with your ETH address. Built on @wchargin's qqlrs renderer.

Download

Grab QQL Studio_0.1.0_universal.dmg below — a Universal build (Apple Silicon + Intel).

Install

Open the DMG and drag QQL Studio to Applications. The app is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens normally — no Gatekeeper warnings.

Highlights

• Filter and generate seeds by all 13 QQL traits plus layout characteristics (point counts, colors, structure specifics, and more)
• Favorite (♥) any result to save a PNG to a folder you choose
• Seed animation: watch a piece build in via an in-app player, and export it as an animated PNG (APNG) or a numbered PNG frame sequence
• Inspect any seed: paste a seed hex to render, animate, and export it
• Detail view with a full trait and layout breakdown, plus high-resolution Save As
